Like the steps? They look so small, like it's a toy stadium rather than a real one. Perhaps it's just an optical illusion but it appears you will need to be on first name terms with those around you as you'll have as much room in your seat as on your average primary school chair.

And did I imagine those arm rests on the publicity shots they used to sell me my ticket for the new ground?

I think it may be an illusion, in one of the photos you can see a roll of insulation and them rolls are pretty wide.

Good good. Have you walked on the aisles? How do they compare to Widnes?

I guess it's just the photos look small as they are so crisp and clear and there is no reference point in most of them to gauge the size off.

I've walked up and down the aisles and it's a pretty good size. The stands ain't as big as the DW but its much bigger than Widnes or it seems much bigger.

I spent few hours there and it's looking pretty high spec. I also had walk on where the pitch is going to be, they have started the drainage for the pitch. The pitch is due to be seeded next month on top of sand ( I can't recall the name of the sand).

I was pretty shocked at how close the tesco is to the stadium, I have pics showing this but not sure if I've sent them CM.

I have many more pics of the time I spent in there which I'll send on to CM for him to post on here.

Good work Agent Pete.

Re: Stadium Site pictures : Thu May 26, 2011 8:16 am  

A lad at work reckons there is a Wigan shirt planted in the centre of where the pitch will go. Any chance of this being true? I seem to remember similar rumours about a United shirt in the centre of the City of Manchester pitch?
